Thomas Tuchel has made five changes for his final selection of the 2021/22 season.

Saul is chosen to play alongside N’Golo Kante in midfield and there is a first league game of the season for Kenedy, who is expected to play at left wing-back. There is a place for Ben Chilwell among the subs, the first time he has been in the squad since his knee injury against Juventus six months ago. The captain Cesar Azpilicueta is also back in a defence that contains Toni Rudiger for the final time in a Chelsea shirt.

Chelsea defeated Watford in their final fixture of the 2021/22 Premier League season and secured third place behind Manchester City and Liverpool.

The 22-year-old will be pleased to have to get on the scoresheet but may have wanted more. Was lively when on the pitch but seemed to be struggling physically early in the second period before being replaced by Malang Sarr. 6. 6. 6. 6.

In hindsight, that’s where Chelsea struggled this season, with $135-million man Romelu Lukaku chief among the Blues’ strugglers. Alas, Ross Barkley grabbed the late winner to push Chelsea to 74 points on the season, three above 4th-place Tottenham but 18 behind 2nd-place Liverpool.

Chelsea, whose £4.25 billion ($5.2bn) ownership deal with a U.S.-led consortium is still awaiting full approval, finished the season in third place. Chelsea lost both the League Cup and FA Cup finals to Liverpool in the tightest finishes this season with both games going to penalties. It was a busy finish to an otherwise unremarkable end-of-term game.
